Repealing an 87-year old law is hard work. There are countless hours spent understanding the issue, defining strategy, building partnerships, engaging the media and of course, writing letters and calling lawmakers.
The repeal of this Law represents one of the first contributions Sikh Americans have made to the broader civil rights community. The achievement marks progress for our community, as we have begun to advance the broader agenda of inclusion and diversity in America. As we celebrate this Vaisakhi day, we ask you to make a real difference this year, by helping us spread awareness about Sikhs and stem the ignorance driven attacks on our community. Together we can turn the tide of ignorance and foster an American society aware of the Sikh identity.
